It takes a special kind of restaurant to ignore it when rats are walking around and that`s just the kind of restaurant this is. No, it`s not up to health code, it`s a tourist attraction in San Francisco, California. People can drink coffee and eat pastries 1 with vermin afoot.


要忽视在餐厅里来回游荡的老鼠,恐怕只有很特殊的餐厅才能做到。而这里就有一家风格这样特殊的餐厅。不过,这一特点与卫生合格无关,它只是加州旧金山的一个旅游景点。在这里,人们可以喝咖啡吃甜点,而老鼠则自由穿梭其中。


The place even charges 50 bucks 2 for this and people even pay it.


这个地方甚至为此收费50美元,而人们也会付款。


These are rescued rats. Yes, there`s a rat rescue. The rodents 3 are domesticated 4 and customers have the chance to adopt one.
